Favourite and Edited Images

These two images was from the shoot we done not on set. I was simply experimenting on PowerPoint because I discovered some really artistic things you could do to manipulate an image and was just messing around. I like these images because they are different and I really think they are something that can be used for out DigiPack and website later on in the project. The top one in particular is very abstract and looks almost sketch like which is distinctive and will make the image stand out from the rest. 

This image looks almost fake and the composition in absolutely beautiful. The effect I added (which I created simply on Microsoft PowerPoint) really accentuates the main properties of the image. The leaves and wood background are dark and sharp but make Claudia stand out so much. I love how she looking up but you can't see what she is looking at - it adds to the mysterious effect. The colours have been made brighter and bolder - it's distinctive and Claudia almost emerges from the image. 

I really love this image. I don't know what it is about it but I think everything fits perfectly. The angle and zoom is spot on. I think there is a ideal amount of everything in the shot. The way that the whole of the eye or lips is shown adds to the mystery of the character and this specific song. I actually screen shot this image from footage and edited it just on Microsoft Word. I increased the contrast and the brightness to blur the image and I love how her face appears almost white but you are still able to visual to teat on her cheek and the dark, heavy eyes. Nothing looks precise or neat apart from the position of the image and the contrast is why I love it so much.

This image really reminds me of a fairy tale. The lighting is warm and gentle and you aren't actually able to capture the makeup of Claudia. The tutu dress is very fairy tale and princess like and a lot like the movies where an innocent princess finds herself lost in the woods searching for her Prince Charming, whereas Claudia is lost without her child (resembled in the lyrics) and searching for sanity. The image contrasts it's true deep meaning and that's what really appeals it to me. 

A lot like the close up image above - this was simply print screened from the footage we shot in the woods. Even though you may not recognise this because obviously it is very close and focused on Claudia's face. I really favor this image for it's natural presence. Claudia is singing the lyrics and looking up towards a tree and I love that she is unaware of the image (obviously because I was actually filming). This was the last bit of filming we done so by this time, she had become very comfortable with performing in front of the camera and at times acted like it wasn't there - which really portrays in the image. The black and white effect on the image creates a neutral tone and emphases the light on her eyes and the mascara running down her face.
